The Weber School District is investigating after a video showing students shouting a racial slur started circulating online. The district said it learned of the short video Monday night which appears to show five Weber High School girls "casually shouting the f-word followed by the n-word."

According to the district, the teens are Weber High juniors and seniors; at least three are cheerleaders. An African-American student, and member of the football team, Ty Burnett shared a video that some of the students at his school made.

The students, who were supposed to be Ty’s friends, created and shared it on social media. Ty posted the following on Twitter: "I thought people were better than this, especially my so called friends."Posted By Joe
